MRS. MARGARET MURRAY DIES AT THE AGE OF SEVENTY-NINE

Mrs. Margaret Murray, who has been living with her daughter in Duchesne for some time, died Tuesday, May 25th, after being ill about seven months.

Mrs. Murray was born in 1841 and moved to the Ashley Valley in 1884, where she has lived until just shortly before her death. Her husband died about fifteen years ago, leaving her with a large family, all of whom are well-respected citizens.

The funeral services were held in the Maeser Ward Chapel Thursday morning. Invocation was offered by Sylvannus Collett. The speakers were Mayor S. D. Colton, Robert Bodily and Thomas Bingham, all of whom spoke in the highest terms of Mrs. Murray as a citizen and mother. Mrs. Collett sang a solo, and other singing was rendered by the Relief Society choir. Benediction was offered by E. J. Ellis.

Those of her children who were in attendance at the funeral were Elison Murray, Mrs. Margaret Richard of Provo, Mrs. Hanna Wilkins of Duchesne, James Murray of Alterra and Thomas Murray of Idaho.
